The acoustic celebration of Welsh rock band The Alarm is attracting people from as far afield as New York to meet and greet frontman Mike Peters.

Over the weekend, Peters, who comes from Rhyl, is performing songs from all four decades of his music career.

There are also screenings of classic Alarm concerts in the lecture theatre, and Peters hoped to spend time meeting as many fans as possible.

Peters says his fans are very important to him and his website still receives 150 e-mails a day from all over the world.

"We've always had a communicative side as a band...we always describe our fans as being part of the family," he said. Last night he played with Big Country's Bruce Watson and tonight he will be reunited with original Alarm guitarist Dave Sharp.

Peters also stages an electric version of the event in January, which has already sold out.

It has been a good year so far for the star - in February, The Alarm celebrated a return to the singles charts after a 15 year absence with the hit 45RPM.

The ageing group substituted a teenager Chester rock band in the single's accompanying video just to prove how much image affected sales.

In February he was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the Welsh Music Awards. He has also become a dad for the first time.
